I'd stick with the colors that are there already and just add more. Off the top of my head, you can do a dark blue, purple (as opposed to that pink/,majenta looking one), brown, a darker red/burgandy, brown, tan, darker green, lime green, lighter blue (like the tweet icon), and maybe like a pale/pastel purple like this guy - that gets you up to 20 colors for the d20.

The science of history is a great bulwark against the stream of Time; in a way it checks this irresistible flood, it holds in a tight grasp whatever it can seize floating on the surface and will not allow it to slip away into the depths of oblivion

I think we might need to make the numbers stand out more though. Is there a way to make the numbers show up white or another color that stands out more against the red? It looks like the current d10 emoticons all used white, except for the white and yellow versions, which used black.

Yep, better for sure. I think the d20 might be the hardest one, so I think we're off to a great start. Maybe, though, make the numbers just a skosh thicker? Or, are they maxed out as is?

I think the numbers being in a contrasting color would help a lot. How about white numbers instead of black?

White numbers would match the 10s on file, and would let you bring the digits right out to the face edge lines. Contrarywise, I wonder about lightening the color further & white face edges with black digits?

I think just making the numbers white instead of black would probably be sufficient, if Daniel is willing to give it a go.

I think the white looks much better. The space available on the d20 is so limited, I wonder if making the number thinner, but bigger would make it a bit more legible. It might even have to creep onto the border of the die face.

Forgive me for any silly/difficult suggestions. I'm not a graphic artist and have no idea how this stuff works.

Daniel, what was your opinion on the matter of the pool? Since you're involved in the designing, I feel like your vote should count for two.

I don't know how "involved" I am, but I honestly don't have an opinion. I won't be using them in any way, so I hesitate to cast my vote in a poll that will affect the experience of those who will actually use them.
